The Global Fund is working with Country Coordinating Mechanisms (CCMs) and Principal Recipients (PRs) to reprioritize activities under Grant Cycle 7 (GC7) due to reduced funding allocations. This process aims to safeguard essential HIV, TB, and malaria interventions while promoting integration, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability within broader health programs. Countries are encouraged to consider all available resources, both domestic and external, when making decisions, with GC7 reprioritization laying the groundwork for Grant Cycle 8. The Global Fund urges inclusive stakeholder engagement throughout this process.
As part of this process, the Global Fund encourages inclusive stakeholder engagement. Since the release of the programmatic reprioritization guidance, the Learning Hubs have held joint and regional-level webinars. However, we are now at a critical point where PRs and Country Teams are deep into the reprioritization revisions.
To add value beyond introductory explanations, this webinar will pivot to focus on community-level experiences, with a spotlight on emerging best practices, challenges, and engagement opportunities. This space will enable mutual learning and forward-looking strategising among civil society and community actors.
Objectives
- Share community experiences and lessons learned from engaging in the GC7 reprioritization process.
- Highlight country-level challenges and best practices around community involvement.
- Explore opportunities for communities to strengthen their positioning and influence in the current and future grant cycles.
- Provide practical recommendations for better community engagement in grant revision processes.
- Inform Global Fund teams on ground-level realities to support more inclusive implementation.
